I shot photos for a Cousin's High School Graduation Ceremony on Friday night.
My Cousin's mom would now like me to create a Slide Show video with the pictures I took.
I normally charge $300.00 for creating a video like this, but she is assuming that I will do this for free. I have done work with her in the past and was paid for it.
Question is:
Should I make the video for her for Free or charge her?

what your sensibility says?

i feel like if you expressed that this would take a lot of your time (even if it wouldn't) and you are quite busy right now, maybe she will offer. if not then do it when you want if you want.

Don't do a full job. Throw the pics into iPhoto and export a slideshow and be done with it. That's all she probably wants anyway.
- yeah, quick and dirty and free._niko

of course you do it for free you tight fisted fuck. it's your cousin's grad?!?
if it were your uncle or aunts business then sure, charge but seriously. your cousin's grad.
it would take 20 minutes in iphoto so send me the scans and i'll do it.

You cousins mom? Wouldn't that be your aunt?...or are you trying to separate yourself from your own family so you can charge them...lol.

just ask $300.00 and act natural.

charging your cousins mum for a slideshow that takes you at most a couple of hours would make you a bit of a cunt.

I cant believe you posted this absurd question on a public board.

For free.

i say still give her the bill. and charge her what you would normally charge your client. then you take a pen, cross out the total cost, and write FREE in 72 pt size.

maybe just ask for a handjob?

Clearly these are free. If you showed up with your camera and took photos without establishing before hand whether or not this was a paying job you've effetely volunteered you time.
It's family ffs. Do it for free.

Watermark it with your name or logo and if she asks what's up with that? tell her you have to buy the software for $300 so the watermark will disappear.
Ha? ha? good idea eh?

Nothing = free.
You only do it for your family when they're not a bunch of mooching assholes who don't remember the favor. Favor being the price.
- it's a graduation ffs! it's not a business or work related thing. it's his counsin's fucking grad?!?airey
